Fig. 6.7. Three breaks in three-quadrant detachment.a In this detachment,
the three breaks are 2 1 / 2 to 3 clock hours apart. b The three breaks were
treated with cryopexy and tamponaded by three radial sponge cylinders
without drainage. The retina attached. The retina remained attached during
a 14-year follow-up period. (Four radial sponges may imply the limits
of radial buckles; instead, a segmental circumferential or a combination of
both be preferred)
